Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me @gamespodcast.bsky.social about the layoffs at id Software. We have been very proud to make games so many people loved. Some of the best game developers in the business were let go for reasons that aren't clear and I don't know how to make sense of it
Chris Hays von id Software spricht mit mir in diesem Interview darüber, wie er die Massenentlassungen bei id erlebt hat, welche Effekte das auf ein Studio hat und wie das ist, wenn über 50% deiner Freund und Kollegen von einem Moment auf den anderen ihren Job verlieren.
Work in progress for my entry for the q30 deathmatch jam. Fleshing it out with Makkon horror textures and some of my own. Modelling is done directly in trenchbroom with vertex editing (it's a mess but fun). #Quake #mapping #leveldesign #gamedev
It really sucks when someone you were following for their work in the retro scene turns out to be big on AI and using it in all their projects. That instantly kills any and all interest in anything they ever make.
What if I told you that all of the Publishing Agreements I have reviewed in the last 6 months (several dozen) included a no gen AI provision, wherein the use of gen AI in development is a material breach, but companies like Epic and EA are still trying to convince us the industry is cool with it
He's only gone and written 2,500 more words about how game devs feel about generative AI. Latest piece quotes around two dozen different people with an indie background. When asked how they feel about gen AI, not one, but two devs responded, "Fuck that shit." www.gamesradar.com/games/it-cre...
New quake map as part of BYOB! Wow! (Also the other maps are very cool) www.slipseer.com/index.php?re... Pay no attention to the bleeding england flags, they just do that here, its probably nothing to worry about #quake
This little project that was supposed to be out in a year is out now, 6 years later. It took a while but it’s great. It’s a whole new full length campaign for Quake with 32 maps and a completely new soundtrack, aimed at being compatible with winquake. I made a few maps for it. youtu.be/ViJMgLNLW08

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.
generative AI is a dead-end technology that creates output without intention that is practically useless for any serious use case and the only fact it's taking years to fail is because of the trillions pumped into it by the business idiots

Just a little layout I prepared for Quake Deathmatch Jam which is going on right now. Uncertain if this sees the light of day because I'm busy and it is up to someone else to fix and art.
Just as an aside, PS3 emulation has gotten real good AND they've got custom multiplayer servers up and running. Folks have been playing Castlevania: Harmony Of Despair (the wild mega-scale co-op dungeon crawler - no other game like it) on PC for a while now.

WIP screenshots from my BYOB jam map. This is a map jam where we need to make all the textures ourselves. I've done these using Blender, QuixelMixer and Krita.
